MICHAEL BISPING has agreed to take on Tyron Woodley is a massive super fight later this year.
The match up looks to have been agreed at catchweight 180Ilbs after Woodley, the welterweight champ challenged Bisping, ‘The Count’ to a showdown backstage at UFC 207 last weekend.
Bisping, the middleweight belt holder was not backing down and after some discussion, the catchweight was agreed and the pair shook hands on what should be one the biggest fights of the year.

The potential superbout will have to be sanctioned by UFC and with no main event announced for UFC 108 London, Bisping and Woodley could cash in and top a packed bill at the O2 in March.
In the video posted on Instagram from Las Vegas, Woodley called out the Brit, saying: 'We fighting'.
A back-and-forth ensues before the American speaks to the camera to say: 'You heard that, 180, me and Bisping;' then adding: 'Alright — you heard, May, 180, we agreed.' Bisping says: 'I agree, I'm in.'
Bisping, 37, claims he currently weighs more than his potential opponent despite fighting in a class ranked at 15lbs less than the American.
In his post online, the Brit added: 'Welterweight champ @twooodley wants to throw down. Calling me out at the weekend. I'm down for whatever so if you wanna do it T-wood. Let's go. @ufc @danawhite.'
But both men have options this year in their own weight divisions as Bisping is set to defend his title against Yoel Romero early this year.
Woodley is set for a rematch with Stephen Thompson after his narrow controversial win at UFC 205 last year.
